Posted on 6 November 2020

As at 00:00 4 November 2020 (AWST) the Operator has advised that the Ironbark-1 well had reached a measured depth of 1,583 metres.

In the past week the Ironbark-1 well was spudded, and we have completed drilling the 26” section.


The Ironbark well will test the Triassic Mungaroo Formation with multiple sand objectives. The reservoir has been explored nearby at comparably shallower depths and includes discoveries at the Gorgon, Goodwyn and North Rankin gas condensate fields. The primary target is at a depth of 5668 metres TVDss in water depths of 301 metres. The well is expected to take around 85 days to drill.
